Craiganboy travels well through races and shaped as if a win was imminent last time but this represents a significant step up in trip and he'll have stamina to prove. Buckled will contend if returning to his best while the likes of Loud And Clear, Jack Devine and Celtic Flames have all shown enough to suggest involvement at the business end if on a going day. But a chance is taken with U NAME IT, despite a series of unappealing form figures. He has tumbled down the weights to a figure of 96, having been rated as high as 129 in early 2016. He produced a much better run when a fair fifth in a large field of Ayr handicappers last time which suggested the fires could still be burning.
